Larry,
Yeah those are some fun records. I was listening that Follow The Swallow last night. № 598, my old union local Boston Carmen. ;D
Regards,
J.

Thanks Larry! I already have two of the dance band tunes in the list. I see that there are some non-dance band records in your lot of Cameos, and they might be difficult to sell. I recently got 8 Cameos on Ebay, six of which were in the $3-4 range, and two being over $7. I was surprised that I got them so easily. As you know, all it takes is one bidder with a huge income (or a poor person who spends foolisly) and the bidding can get out of hand.
I have the Cameo of "Follow the Swallow," but if memory serves me correctly, I actually prefer George Olsen's Victor rendition! John, are you scandalized? ;D ;D

Yea, that was me, I hope the "Ol' Man River" is worth hearing more than once, at least! ;D I'm happy, so thanks Larry!

Sean,
I was curious about that one as well. You'll have to let me know what you think of it once you've get it.
Regards,
J.

I'd agree with Rocky, at least 1926. I wouldn't be surprised to hear even 1927, since they were a "cheap" label. I have a copy of Jack Kaufman "He's Our Al" (the Al Smith campaign, 1928? - don't have the issue # here at work) which is a definitely an electric, though not a great one! Sean Folks, Weird thing, I pulled out a random stack of records two days ago (and those who know my record filing system know when I say random I mean RANDOM! ;D) and guess what I came up with?........ I'm embarrassed to admit I had no idea I even owned it! Or should say I completely forgot I owned it. Sad.  Regards, J. A vote for Smith is a vote for BEER! ;D  |

Sean,
Oh yeah, it's a fun number. I got a kick out Al's inclusion in Sidewalks Of New York on the flip. I read that Sidewalks... was his campaign song as well.
Regards,
J.

Sean, I was curious about that one as well. You'll have to let me know what you think of it once you've get it. Regards, J. Got 'em..."Ol' Man River" is actually quite good! It's obviously no Whiteman / Crosby or Whiteman / Robeson, but it's still pretty good. The Bob Haring "I Wanna Be Loved By You" is just great! It's a riot to hear a guy singing a song made famous by Helen Kane. He even does the "Boop-boop-a-doop"!  Sean |
